FX.co ★ Poland’s Quarterly GDP Growth Edges Up to 0.9% in Q2 2026

Poland’s economy strengthened modestly in the second quarter of 2026, with quarter-on-quarter GDP growth rising to 0.9%, up from 0.6% in the first quarter of the year. The latest figures, updated on 13 August 2026, point to a gradual acceleration in economic momentum after a slower start to the year.

On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the current 0.9% print reflects a faster pace of expansion compared with the previous quarter, when GDP grew 0.6% versus the quarter before it. The data suggest that underlying domestic activity is improving, although the pickup remains measured rather than rapid.

The comparison framework indicates that the “actual” figure represents the change in GDP for the current quarter compared with the previous one, while the “previous” measure showed how first-quarter 2026 GDP compared with the preceding quarter. Together, the readings signal a steady, if moderate, improvement in Poland’s short-term growth trajectory.
